"New Year's Day? Come back, what's wrong?"
In the Palace of Triumph King, King Triumph looked at the Commoner King who came to visit him and asked in confusion.
"I have nothing to do. I just came here to ask the prince when he is going to leave. The junior's fiefdom is not far from the prince's place. I happen to be on the way. I can keep him company on the way." Huanzhu replied with a smile.
"King Commoner wants to go back with me?"
The King of Triumph was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and said with a wary look, "You don't have another plan, do you?"
As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of well ropes for ten years. This commoner king is not as harmless as it seems on the surface, so it is better to be on guard.
"Senior is joking."
Huanzhu responded softly, "What bad intentions can this junior have? I just want to be with Senior King Xuanxuan on the road."
"Wait a minute, let me think carefully."
The King of Triumph did not dare to agree immediately and thought about it carefully.
He had no doubts about the commoner king's character, but this boy had too many evil intentions and had to be careful.
After thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with a reason. The King of Triumph hesitated and was about to agree. Suddenly, his body shook. He seemed to understand something. He looked at the boy in front of him and asked, "Are you trying to avoid suspicion?"
The commoner king's fiefdom is in Yuzhou City, and the Li family's foundation is also in Yuzhou. When the two sides were tit for tat, it would be easy to go back, but now it is different.
If the Li family and the commoner king all stayed away from the capital and gathered in Yuzhou City, people would inevitably be suspicious.
If a wealthy merchant family and a powerful military king joined forces, the consequences would be disastrous.
When recruiting troops, what is needed most?
silver!
What is needed most in a war?
Military pay!
The Li family has no shortage of these. The Li family's wealth is enough to recruit a large army in a very short period of time, and it is armed to the teeth.
The commoner king has the talent to lead troops. Once the two parties join forces, their momentum and threat will be far beyond what the eldest prince could before.
Of course, these are just suspicions. It is impossible for the Commoner King to take this step, otherwise, he would not be found.
"I do have this consideration. When I go to Yuzhou City, the prince will be watching over me. I think your majesty and the civil and military officials of the court can feel more at ease." Huanzhu said with a smile.
"If you are worried about His Majesty's suspicion, just stay in the capital. Why do you have to go to Yuzhou City?" King Triumphant asked doubtfully.
"I have to go and see it after all."
Huanzhu said calmly, "It's not wartime now, I don't have troops in my hands, so I have to be careful when going to Yuzhou City. When it's wartime, I won't dare to go back, not to mention, I have to catch up with the prince to return to the fiefdom." , and only now.”
"It makes some sense."
The King of Triumph nodded and said with emotion, "That's all, I will help you one more time."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Return the pearl with a respectful salute and sincerely thank you.
"King Commoner, you seem to be sure that I will help you."
The King of Triumph looked at the boy in front of him and asked in confusion, "Where does the confidence come from?"
"King Rakshasa."
Huanzhu replied calmly, "Your Majesty believes in King Rakshasa's choice and his own vision. After all, I was promoted by King Rakshasa and you, my senior. Your Majesty doesn't believe in this junior. In fact, you are questioning yourself. Your Majesty has always been confident. Therefore, I will also trust the juniors.”
"You boy, you are really eloquent."
King Triumph reluctantly responded, in fact, what this boy said was right. He believed in the choice made by himself and King Rakshasa. This commoner king represented the future of Dashang, and he would help if he could.
King Rakshasa did this during his lifetime, and he does the same now.
Seniors support younger generations. Many times, there really is no need for so many reasons.
Inheritance is the most important thing at all times.
This is how the successive Martial Kings of the Great Shang Dynasty were passed down from generation to generation.
From now on, the commoner king will make the same choice when he meets a descendant who deserves to be entrusted with the future.
In the triumphant palace, the two briefly chatted for a few more words before Huanzhu left first.
"The future life is to be feared."
The King of Triumph looked at the departing figure in front of him and sighed softly.
This commoner king has such an astonishing mind at such a young age, and his ability to lead troops is also outstanding. He has far surpassed them back then.
At his age, Dong Lin seems to be just a captain.
Guanshan?
Who knows which military camp Guan Shan, who was born as a civilian, would be carrying the big pot at this age?
Just when Huanzhu followed a few hints from his brother to defeat the King of Triumph.
Outside Yuzhou City, Li Ziye and Maonanfeng had already arrived first.
"Senior Nan Wang, please help me take a look."
Outside the city, Li Ziye stopped, straightened his clothes and hair, and asked nervously, "Are you thin? Are you not embarrassed?"
When Mao Nanfeng heard this, he frowned slightly and said, "It's not like you're meeting the bride, why should you care about this?"
"Because Lao Li cares."
Li Ziye grinned and replied, "I'm afraid that he will be verbose when he sees that I have lost weight."
While speaking, Li Ziye stretched out his hand and rubbed his face vigorously to make himself look more energetic.
On the side, Mao Nanfeng frowned again as he watched the reaction of the boy next to him, but didn't say much.
The two then entered the city and walked straight towards the Li Mansion.
Yuzhou City is very large and lively. In terms of scale alone, it is not much worse than the big commercial capital.
Of course, there is still a certain gap in the level of prosperity.
However, the Great Shang Capital is the capital of the people of the world, and Yuzhou City is almost the Li family's Yuzhou.
After more than ten years of operation, the Li family has penetrated into every corner of Yuzhou City.
This is why the Shang Emperor would rather reward the Li family with a hereditary and irreplaceable Marquis of Ten Thousand Households, but also wants to move the Li family's headquarters out of Yuzhou City.
As long as the Li family moves, it will definitely break their muscles and bones. More than ten years of management cannot be transferred overnight.
In front of Li Mansion, Li Wanwan stood there as usual, looking far away, eager for a miracle to happen.
However, until the sunset, I still didn’t see the person I wanted to see.
Li Wanwan sighed in his heart, turned around and walked into the mansion.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon and I haven’t come back yet. Could it be that I am too busy this year and can’t come back?
"Old Li!"
Not long after Li Baiwan entered the house, a familiar voice sounded from behind, so harsh that it deserved a beating.
"Your ancestors are back. Where are the people? Is there no one to greet me when I come back? Is there still king's law? Is there still law?"
In the mansion, Li Baiwan was shocked when he heard the familiar voice outside. He quickly came to his senses and hurried out.
But in front of Li's house, two figures walked towards him. The young man was very handsome, but he had that arrogant look on his face that didn't deserve a beating. No matter how many years passed, there seemed to be no change.
Li Baiwan came to the house and looked at his son walking in front of him. Because of the excitement, the fat on his face began to tremble. It was difficult to express a thousand words. In the end, he just grinned and whispered two words:
"Thin."
